Puppet Master X: Axis Rising

Nailwraps · 02-13-2012, 05:30 PM

The next chapter in the PM saga is scheduled for this fall and the best part...creator Charles Band is set to direct!:

"Veteran genremeister Charles Band has been shepherding the PUPPET MASTER franchise for over two decades now, and he’s taking an even more active role in the latest entry, PUPPET MASTER X: AXIS RISING. Read on for the scoop.

Fango got the word that for the very first time in the series’ history, Band will be pulling the puppet strings himself, directing PUPPET MASTER X, which will begin shooting in Los Angeles soon for a targeted fall release. The film is a follow-up to the previous China-lensed PUPPET MASTER: AXIS OF EVIL, though the storyline directly continues that of PUPPET MASTER III: TOULON’S REVENGE, the Nazi Germany-set entry directed by David DeCoteau that is widely considered the series’ high-water mark. This time, classic killer playthings Blade, Jester, Pinhead, Leech Woman and Tunneler (which are being resculpted for this entry for the closest possible fidelity to their original incarnations) confront four new villainous toys, including Blitzkrieg and Bombshell (pictured below), plus two more to be revealed soon."

That synopsis makes this sound like the nerdiest sequel ever. Love it.

I hope this is better than the last one. I really wanted to like it, but after watching it two times, I just can't get into it.

wow. when i saw the name i thought "please let it be some incredibly stereotypical japanese puppet." never in my wildest dreams did i imagine something as amazing as that. full moon, i love you!

I heart these movies keep them coming!

Although the puppets were terrible Axis of Evil was a step in the right direction. David DeCoteau was probably the worst thing about it. He has a tendency to direct actors into really annoying performances. With Charles Band directing the new one I give it a 50/50 shot.

Seems like they're going a little more exploitative which is fine by me.

Puppet action looks pretty cool. Wasn't a big fan of Axis of Evil but I'll see this one.

fceurich39 · 09-28-2012, 09:52 PM

already sent payment it comes out oct 9th if u get it through fullmoondirect.com

also it looks like tunneler and six shooter are gonna have smaller roles i guess

dave13 · 09-28-2012, 10:02 PM

axis of evil was no great shakes, but i guess if you've made it this far, you know what you're getting into. i'll certainly see this.

on a related note, just ordered the first 3 UK BDs (II and III are preorders) - can't wait for those.

Entertaining trailer, I'll be watching this... but with low expectations.

Blade's look is terrible in this. I'll still give it a watch though.

Blah you know your going to love it and give it a rave review. I'm sure this will probably suck but I'll still give it a spin.
